US Grade 5 - 8
This course is a fantastic way to meet your student's science curriculum needs by studying 𝗕𝗢𝗗𝗬 𝗦𝗬𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗦 with an emphasis on the 𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗢𝗨𝗦 𝗦𝗬𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗠! Students will meet live once a week and be provided with optional assignments to complete outside of our class time each week. Classes will include several activities designed to capture every type of learner including illustrating, organizing, reading, writing, watching, researching, exploring, and game-day review activities! I'm a firm believer in creating engaging learning experiences for every type of learner, and I know middle school students will look forward to each class.

Parental Guidance
⚠️ This class does cover the endocrine system, and includes male and female endocrine glands and the hormones each gland secretes. This discussion is strictly scientific, but I do like for parents to know! ⚠️

Supply List
Learners may need to print a few handouts throughout the course, or have access to view handouts on a separate device during class. I typically used Nearpod, Kahoot, and Google Classroom for these courses, but I take the time to clearly explain and provide support for each of these!

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a certified middle school science teacher, and have been teaching middle school science both in the public school setting, and online since 2014. It is very important to me that students enjoy the experience of learning about science and consequently, much effort is put into making lessons interactive, varied, and memorable. My experience allows me to focus on the importance of building relationships with my students and use those relationships to tailor lessons to their interests and abilities. I grow and become a better teacher every time I interact with my students!Reviews
